Solution
To find the correlation coefficient, r, we need to follow these steps:
-
First, we need to calculate the mean (average) of both x (milligrams) and y (minutes).
-
Then, we need to subtract each x and y value from their respective means to get the deviation scores.
-
Next, we square each deviation score and sum them up to get the sum of squares for x and y.
-
We also need to multiply each x deviation score by its corresponding y deviation score and sum these up to get the sum of the cross products.
-
Finally, we divide the sum of the cross products by the square root of the product of the sum of squares for x and y.
-
The result is the correlation coefficient, r.
Please note that this is a simplified explanation and the actual calculations can be quite complex. Also, this process assumes that you have a list of x and y values. If you only have summary statistics, the process may be different.
Without the actual data, I can't provide a numerical answer. But this is the general process you would follow.

Deshawn wanted to find out how temperature affects the rate at which three packets of sugar dissolve in a liter of water.To find out, he performed a scientific investigation. The results from his investigation are shown below.Time (in seconds) for Sugar to Dissolve at Different TemperaturesTemperature Trial 1 Trial 2 Trial 3 Mean (average)25°C 123 s 127 s 124 s 125 s30°C 111 s 109 s 107 s 109 s35°C 98 s 101 s 97 s 99 sWhich of the following is true about the mean (average) values for the time it took the sugar to dissolve? A. The amount of time needed to dissolve the sugar stayed the same no matter what the temperature was. B. It is impossible to make any conclusions about Deshawn's experiment because he did not perform enough trials. C. The time needed for the sugar to dissolve decreased as the temperature increased. D. As the temperature increased, there was an increase in the amount of time needed to dissolve the sugar.
